A lot of people have a lot of different guesses about what Love is and many come to some pretty crazy conclusions based on those various guesses. I, as a follower of Christ, like to look to what God says love is. I find the best place to look is 1st Corinthians, chapter 13 verses 4-7…
1Co 13:4 Love has patience, is kind; love is not envious; love is not vain, is not puffed up with pride; 5 It is not rude, does not pursue its own things, is not easily provoked to anger, keeps no record of wrongs; 6 does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. 7 Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes and endures all things.
So what does that description of love mean to you? I’ve found that this passage tells us that true love is above all else selfless, focused not on what you can get out of the relationship but on what you can put into it. Is your love for your spouse about what you can do for them or what they can do or have done (or not done) for you?
